It pains and distresses me to pass on the news that Lover's Rock Queen Jean Adebambo has died. It has been alleged that Jean had taken her own life.
I wish to pass on my condolences to her family and loved ones at this time. Jean had recently come out of retirement after 18 years to perform as a special guest as part of "The Kings and Queens of Lover's Rock Gala Award Show" which was held at London's Brixton Academy, September 6th 2008 spearheaded by LG Brown and Castro Brown, and was due to perform with Carroll Thompson, Sandra Cross, Mikey Spice, Sanchez and John Holt at Stratford Rex Valentine's weekend Her anthem "Paradise" is always requested at every revival dance going and will be played for a long time to come.
a truly sad time for british reggae music May your soul rest in eternal peace
